ABOUT

Frequent flyers is an ensemble founded by drummer and composer John Stewart. Originally from Wales, John is now based in London and spends his time recording, performing and producing. The music of Frequent Flyers is heavily influenced by artists like Snarky Puppy, Transatlantic, Frank Zappa, Yes, Tigran Hamasyan, and Michel Camilo. The idea for the group began in late 2014 when John started composing instrumental music that mixed his varying influences which include Jazz, Rock, Latin, Metal, Prog, and many others. With a set up of Keyboards, Drums, Bass and a String Quartet, the resulting sound is diversified, as the instrumentation takes on any style and molds it into their own unique sound.

In 2016, John began studying at Berklee College of Music in Valencia, Spain. It is here that John would end up meeting some of the world class musicians that would end up performing and contributing to the debut album Infinity (∞). The recording for the album began in mid 2018, and, as the majority of these musicians lived all around the world, it was decided that this would be a global project. Each individual instrument was recorded remotely in the musicians’ respective cities, which led to the album being recorded in over 3 continents, 4 countries and 6 cities.

Released on November 1st 2019, the debut album, Infinity (∞), is now available to stream worldwide! Frequent Flyers is looking to hit the road in 2020 and play in a town near you, so keep up to date with all upcoming events by liking and following any social media accounts, as well as singing up to the mailing list.
